Maria Shriver’s Hilarious Take on Patrick Schwarzenegger’s Bold ‘White Lotus’ Moment

So, let’s talk about Patrick Schwarzenegger, the son of the iconic duo Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has officially put himself on the map with his recent role in the much-buzzed-about HBO series *The White Lotus*. When Patrick made waves during the season three premiere by going full-frontal, his mother had some lighthearted remarks to share. Maria quipped during an interview at the Keep Memory Alive’s Power of Love Gala, “I just looked straight into his eyes. That’s all I know!” Classic mom response, right?
But in all seriousness, Maria couldn’t be prouder of her son for taking this career leap. “I’m really happy for him,” she continued, “He’s a really good actor, and he’s worked really hard at it.” Who knew Maria could get so deep amongst the giggles? Patrick plays Saxon Ratliff, a finance bro navigating life in North Carolina while grappling with the awkwardness of family relations and, of course, those steamy moments that inevitably come with the territory.
For those unfamiliar, *The White Lotus* has become a cult favorite, often celebrated for its blend of dark comedy and family dysfunction, making it a perfect vehicle for Patrick to showcase his talents. And while he may have strutted around practically in the buff, Patrick mentioned he was a bit hesitant about his parents watching those vulnerable scenes. “I have not told them anything, but there are scenes that I will not be watching with them,” he confessed, further proof that the famous family has their fair share of awkward moments.
Pat’s dad, Arnold, struck a cheeky tone on social media, joking, “What a show. I could claim to be surprised to find out he has a nude scene, but what can I say – the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Touché, Arnold, touché!
As the series unfolds, fans can expect more jaw-dropping scenes and complex character dynamics. With a star-studded lineup including Jason Isaacs and Parker Posey, this season promises to keep everyone on their toes, more so than usual. So if you’re not onboard the *White Lotus* train yet, time to hop on and enjoy the ride!
